"I thought I'd never see him again..."
The white-haired boy said absentmindedly.
picture.
They look so alike!
Although their faces are completely different.
But that smile...
Always optimistic, as if able to melt away snow and heal all smiles in the world...
He will never forget it.
After all, the more you destroy something, the more reluctant you are to let it go...
"Obito, did you see that?"
"I've found a girl who looks a lot like Lin..."
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth beneath the mask.
Kakashi Hatake turned and walked away.
.....
On the other side.
Having arrived in class with a boost of positive feedback, Qingchuan has already begun the self-introduction phase.
Look around.
Everyone, including the teachers, looked on with anticipation.
What kind of self-introduction will this girl, who transferred to the class carrying a knife, give?
"Teacher, is this the little girl you've taken a liking to?"
"Well...it's actually quite cute, isn't it?"
Outside the classroom.
Through the window, and across the rooftop of another teaching building in an open space.
Hongdou sat on the side, her legs swinging in the air.
"It seems you quite like this junior, Red Bean."
Orochimaru, standing next to Anko, spoke in his husky yet captivating voice.
At first glance, they really do seem like a loving master and apprentice.
"What a pity... He uses a knife, which doesn't suit the teacher at all."
"Not every girl can accept the teacher's ninjutsu."
"Especially cute little girls like Haruko."
Hongdou rested her chin on her hand and said with some concern.
Orochimaru smirked but didn't respond.
cute.
As expected of you, my foolish disciple.
to be honest.
Orochimaru did not want to acknowledge this master-disciple relationship, which was a facade.
Red Bean is too dull.
At the same time, it's too superficial.
Her potential is destined to be limited.
It is already a great honor to be one of the vessels for one's soul.
Only someone like Hongdou would use the simple word "cute" to describe the junior in front of her.
Haruko, who was introducing herself on the stage, was indeed wearing a lovely smile today.
But this wasn't the first time he'd seen it...
I still remember the conversation we had when we parted that night.
He never dared to take a girl's seemingly joking words lightly.
[Once I graduate, I'll chop you up sooner or later.]
Beneath the girl's adorable exterior lies the soul of a demon...
"Let's go, Red Bean."
He gave Qingchuan a meaningful final look.
Orochimaru's figure vanished with the wind.
Inside the classroom.
Feeling the familiar yet disgusting gaze disappear, Qingchuan cursed inwardly as usual, and then, following the teacher's instructions, went to his seat.
The teacher was very perceptive.
They arranged for him and Itachi to sit at the same table.
This made Itachi, who had finally recovered, feel uneasy again.
Qingchuan watched all this and found it extremely amusing!
But a voice deep within him constantly reminded him...
[Young man, your current mindset is very dangerous.]
Let's keep some distance.
At least, judging from the current relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha.
The battle to strip down within seven years seems inevitable.
But then... what identity should he use to go on a rampage against the clan-annihilating Itachi?
"Okay, students, please turn to Chapter 8 in your textbooks."
"Today we are going to learn about... the Kage of Konoha throughout history."
The teacher began the lesson.
Hmm, history class.
Qingchuan felt a little hopeful, opened the textbook, and started reading from the beginning.
It can happen very quickly.
His expression gradually turned strange.
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not disappoint him.
The textbook is titled "The History of Konoha".
But in reality, it's not much different from "The Tale of Hiruzen Sarutobi"...
He was appointed to a critical mission, donned the Hokage robe, and personally ended the Second Shinobi World War!
He has mastered all the ninjutsu and chakra natures in the world, and is known as the Professor of Ninjutsu!
Even the disciples he taught were the three most famous ninjas in the ninja world!
This is only for external audiences.
Internally.
Under his rule, Konoha will always be the leading ninja village in the ninja world!
The other four major ninja villages could only look up to them and could only band together to attack Konoha!
But Konoha still exists.
And they seem to be doing very well...
Even Qingchuan, who had read the original work, couldn't find any fault with it!
"That old rascal is really wicked!"
"No wonder Orochimaru has grown into this shape."
"well..."
After reading through all the content in one go, Qingchuan felt an indescribable embarrassment...
Compared to the master-disciple pair of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru.
He's just a cross-dressing kid, his skill level isn't actually that high...
At dusk.
After a boring day in Qingchuan, I walked with Itachi on the road in the Hui people's territory.
A day of close contact.
Itachi was no longer as awkward as he had been at the beginning.
Even though Haruko's smile is still incredibly cute...
"Haruko, how was your first day of school?"
On the way, Itachi asked expectantly.
"Well..." Qingchuan hesitated for a moment, "I think I know why you skipped class now."
"This..." Itachi's face was immediately filled with embarrassment.
To be honest, he almost forgot that he hadn't been to school in a long time...
"But it's also quite interesting."
Suddenly, Qingchuan changed the subject.
"Anyway, I'm graduating in a few days, so it doesn't matter."
Itachi: "??????"
